My TiVo's EPG hasn't been updated for over a week - and currently ends at the end of Thursday. Everything on all channels beyond that point is 'To Be Advised'. This is also reflected on the online TV guide at m.mytivo.co.nz.

So... has TiVo finally met it's end? :(

Nope.

4 Day long weekend here, and the NZ data is entered manually.

New data in tonight's feed.

The sky is not falling, repeat the sky is not falling :p

Hi Dan is the subtitling on TV3 ever going to be fixed? They are horribly out of sync like by minutes or tens of minutes.

I thought that it might have been due to the weekend, but then I would've expected the data for Friday at least to entered around this time last week and wasn't too sure.

Thanks for the incredibly speedy answer.

The sky isn't falling but the sun is definitely setting below the horizon I fear. Freeview+ is yet another nail in the coffin. The much loved TiVo is on life support in my house and I am holding out pulling the plug.

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

As long as someone is at the end updating the EPG, I can't see how it could end. But it is always the risk with something that is a software as a service, such as an EPG. But I guess that is the same with free view. It does seem to have gone from 2 weeks of EPG listings, down to around 7 days, but that maybe the tv comapnies not providing as much notice.

We're at the 'in-laws for an extended Easter break. Using their T-box or whatever Vodafone now call that piece of junk sure makes me appreciate our TiVos!! Long live TiVoNZ!

Not sure what the plan would be if we had to replace our four....

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

File is made available to the mother ship last night, it processes overnight and becomes available in the daily call in sometime mid morning.
Being honest I tend to loose track of exactly when, with DST changes and individual regions.

Force a connection post lunch ish and it should be there.

One of our TiVos is scheduled for just before 1300, so I'll see how that goes and force the others if it works. Thanks for the update Dan!

There has been a further glitch, our EPG parnter is currently processing all the data and it should be corrected in tonights feed.

Sorry all, I can't force a feed though the system, it just has to run its course :(

Going to be rather awkward if it glitches again tomorrow. Crossing fingers and holding breath!
